The chronic conditions on the top of table represented the status of wives. The chronic conditions on the left of the table represented the status of their husband. The generalised estimating equations model was adjusted for age, health insurance status, education status, drinking and smoking.
CVD, cerebrovascular disease; IHD, ischaemic heart disease.
